omg. my car runs so much smoother............when i accelerated slow, the gas pedal used to shake a little only at 1800 rpm..i figured it was something wit the tranny............

paid 167$ and its worth it. more smoother shifts also

 

how often or how many mile do I have to flush my tranny fulid??

 

Is it possible to fully flush the tranny fluid myself. If so how is there a website or do you have step-by-step instructions.

The correct FLUSH procedure per "JENS and Acura Service" is to 1) drain put in two qts, run 3-5 minutes while shifting between gears (YES KEEP FOOT ON BREAK) 2) repeat "1" three times, final fill is 2.75 qt. The fill plug is on top of the trans and is marked "ATF"; makes this job easy. I did it in 1 hr and the 9 qts of oil cost me around $48. Remember use only "Honda Z1" atf. I contacted a synthetic oil company (Amsoil) and their engineering dept said use only HONDA ATF. Mobil1 web page also said to use only Honda Z1. Not a 100% flush but good enough..

 

i did it at 15k and again at 30k, so i guess i'll be doing it at every 15k...

 

Where did you get it done at Stan and how much?

 

i duno..they hooked up pumps or soemthin.....sounds too complicated =)............ima do it every 10k miles

 

Acura uses the same process that Fender4 describes, after having them describe it to me after the first time I have done it myself since. The drain plug always has metal dust on it so I do a partial flush (2+qts) every 3-5K. It does not seem to make any difference though 1St Tranny gone at 28K second one is due to be replaced in a week at 43K. Perhaps an in-line filter or an oil cooler may have prolonged the inevitable. It is hard to imagine that dirty fluid that is maintained on a more that recommended interval could cause a tranny to fail.
